The lives of six lucky Nigerians and an Arabian turned around for good recently at the Mega Games Promo organised by a technology company, Technotrend Platform Nigeria Limited, under the platform of Airtel Nigeria Network.
During a presentation ceremony held at the Lagos Resource Center in Victoria Island, Lagos, the seven lucky persons became N1 million richer. They were Rosemark, Mike Chikodo Okoro, Emmanuel Egbo, Ikade Michael Dan, Okoli Stella Yemisi, Adebayo Oyeyipo and the Arabian named Rafaqat Ali.
One of the beneficiaries of the N1 million cash, Rosemark, a hairdresser, said she was surprised and initially didn’t believe she could win when she was called and received text. She thanked organisers of the Mega Games Promo for matching their words with Action.
For Mike Chikodo Okoro, a retail phone seller, a friend urged him to play the game, which he reluctantly did, not expecting to become a millionaire in 2018.
“I am so happy today as Mega Games Promo has made my day. I was planning to travel to the east but I received a call and had to postpone the trip. This money means so much as I hope to use it to settle some medical bills because I had an accident last year and has been treating my leg. The fund will be used to boost my business. Just keep on playing the game, forget about the N1 million. Just keep on playing it,” he said.
Another winner, Stella Yemisi Okoli, who came from Akure, Ondo State, was full of smiles, saying “I lost hope I thought it was not for real. Mega Games Promo has made my day as this fund came handy during the yuletide season. I am overwhelmed.”
Managing Director of Technotrend Platform Nigeria Limited, Mr Doyin Adeshina, said Mega Games Promo, which started barely three months ago, has rewarded players with a total of N22 million, the top prize being a million naira.
He added that the trivia game draws are done daily after five questions are answered via the Airtel SMS platform attracting just N20 per day which must accrue to 6,000 points qualifying the player for a daily draw. A million naira cash prize and ten smartphones are won every week.
During the event, some people won smartphones, which were presented to them in the presence of officials of Nigeria Lottery Regulatory Communication (NLRC), Mr Jude Ughwujabo and Consumer Protection Council (CPC), Madam Suzie Onwuka.
Mr Ughwujabo commended Technotrend Platform Nigeria Limited for the milestones, noting that the commission regulates promotions both from the end of regulators and even those of you that participated and won.
He added, “We make sure you get your prizes. We commend Technotrend and we hope they will come with new ideas next time for the Promotions.”
Suzzie Onwuka of Consumer Protection Council urged the participants to have faith in the process, as they can see the delivery of the organizers on their promise.
“The council is out to protect the people. If there is anyone unsatisfied with the promo, reach out to us at CPC and we take it from there,” she said.
Technotrend Platforms Nigeria Limited (TPNL), a technology company that offers wholesales wireless (Mobile) access services to telecom subscribers through the mobile networks recently presented cash prizes of N1 million and smartphones each to lucky subscribers, who participated and won its on-going Mega Games Promo, which is principally designed to better the lives of Nigerians.
